If I mirror two SSDs, and write 1 unit of data to the mirror, each
element of the mirror should see 1 unit of write.  How does this
perform excessive writes, compared to the same workload applied to a
single SSD?

I agree that in aggregate we've now done 2 units worth of writes,
however, in a mirror case, we're protecting against both whole-device
failure and single-sector failure modes, so hardly seems like a bad
idea in all applications.
